The Walcot Foundation was delighted, in partnership with Trust for London and the Learning and Work Institute, to launch at City Hall on 9 March 2018 the evaluation findings of our Step Up programme. This followed a two year programme trialling ways of enabling people in low paid work to progress their careers.

We have extended Step Up for a further year in order to track long term impact of the project. We plan to publish a follow-up report in 2019. Solutions to in-work poverty are relatively unexplored. The Step Up programme has broken new ground and provides valuable information to any organisation or commissioning body looking to design a project that supports low paid workers. We remain especially interested in tackling in-work poverty, and will be applying what has been discovered from Step Up to assess future in-work applications.
